Install plug-ins at Winamp - how it works

The media player Winamp brings numerous functions with it, but its capabilities expand by installing plug-ins. We'll show you how it's done.

Winamp: Download and install plug-ins

1. Start Winamp and click on "Winamp Add-Ons" in the menu bar on the left.
2. If you switch to the "Plug-Ins" tab above, you can either find specific extensions using the search function or browse through the various categories (see image).
3. Once you have selected an add-on, click on it and press the "Download" button.
4. Then confirm the download with "Execute" and click on "Install".
5. Winamp is closed and the plug-in is installed. Then Winamp starts again. The plug-in can now be used.
6. You can manage the plug-ins via the menu item "Options" and then "Settings".
7. Alternatively, you can also open the website with the plug-ins in the browser and then load and install them via Winamp. You can find this on Winamp.com.
